Pathetically Apathetic provides you with a clear, honest talk about how we all suffer from cognitive dissonances, and the simple steps to break free. We all talk about dreams, ideas, goals and aspirations, but so few of us really achieve these goals. I dealt with this very reality for the first 22 years of my life without knowing it! Whether it's your negative environment, your unrealistic expectations for the future, the lack of trust you have in others (and yourself) or the lack of obsession that's required to achieve great goals, you've now almost lost faith. You're about to throw in the towel. I'm here to tell you that people with the greatest cards in life can still live a pathetically apathetic life. I'm also here to tell you that anyone can create a life they're actually happy with. This book doesn't contain "hidden secrets to success" or guarantees that your life will change. What it does give is the honest talk you may have never had about life, and the simple steps you must consistently implement to accomplish your goals. It's the same process that's been implemented by hundreds of thousands of people over the last century and it's been written about before. It's about time you finally got to see this take place for yourself.Let's get started. What are you waiting for?

Catherine has lived a cloistered life dominated by the choices of a tormented mother and an overprotective grandmother. But life is about to change for 17-year-old Catherine when her mother Brenda insists she take a summer job in Kings Cross. Sydney has just opened its doors to American GIs on R&R from the war in Vietnam and Catherine is put in the perfect place to meet them. Reluctant at first, it's not long before she finds herself charmed by the well-mannered American servicemen and fascinated by the diversity of the Cross, infamous for its mob-controlled nightclubs, prostitutes and drugs. As the GIs come and go, Catherine chooses to spend time with them and ultimately sacrifices a university scholarship. The war is brought closer to home when her cousin and best friend Michael is sent to Vietnam. When tragedy hits a target close to Catherine's heart, she realizes her life is spinning out of control and that she must make changes.Set in Sydney during the late 1960's, Please Write is a blend of fiction and non-fiction. The story line is inspired by letters that I, the author, received fifty years ago from Australian friends and American GIs who served in Vietnam. This is not only Catherine's story of negotiating traps in the journey to adulthood, it is also the soldiers' story told collectively in the letters they write to her. Often painted with an unsavory brush by individuals, the press, and anti-war groups, the letters-used with permission-offer a refreshing and more accurate representation of who they were: young men meeting the challenges of an unpopular and un-winnable war. Although Please Write is set in a different time in history, the importance of hope, perseverance and connection in the face of adversity holds relevance for every generation.

Embrace opportunity; step out in faith; visualize your significance. Become the person you want to be, not the person someone else tells you to be.

Everything Australia wants to achieve as a country depends on its capacity to understand the world outside and to respond effectively to it.In Fear of Abandonment, expert and insider Allan Gyngell tells the story of how Australia has shaped the world and been shaped by it since it established an independent foreign policy during the dangerous days of 1942. Gyngell argues that the fear of being abandoned - originally by Britain, and later by our most powerful ally, the United States - has so far driven how Australia acts in the world.Spanning events as diverse as the Malayan Emergency, the White Australia Policy, the Vietnam War, Whitlam in China, apartheid in South Africa, East Timorese independence and the current South China Sea dispute, this vivid narrative history reveals how Australia has evolved as a nation on the world stage.Fear of Abandonment is a gripping and authoritative account of the way Australians and their governments have helped create the world we now inhabit in the twenty-first century. In revealing the history of Australian foreign affairs, it lays the foundation for how it should change.
